Reign "Chosen" (Part 2)

While Francis guilts Bash over bringing the pagans to the castle doorstep and attempts to motivate his brother to make a decision about the sacrifice, Kenna brings her fellow ladies to Henry's chambers and tells them that she is officially his mistress. There is one thing that she is concerned about and that is Diane and Henry's initials carved into the floor tiles and she immediately requests for them to be removed from Henry's chambers. Her ladies conclude by telling Kenna that the title mistress won't chase Diane away.

Later on in the throne room, Mary and Catherine interrogates the guards to see who was responsible for putting the stag's hear in in Mary's room. Catherine even puts out a threat that she'll burn down all the servants houses if they don't present the information by midnight. Kenna talks to Henry about her concern with him giving her a 15 room cottage on the castle property and that he refuses to honor her request by replacing the tile. Later, that night Henry writes her name in candles on the castle lawn during a big fireworks display causing her to forget her worries and run into his arms.

Bash heads to the dungeon to retrieve a thief that he takes with him into the woods in order to take Mary's place. He's determined to sacrifice this man for Mary to ensure that the future Queen of France won't be in a danger from the pagans. Francis takes this moment to confront Mary about seeing her kissing Bash, and her explanation is that she wasn't thinking rationally during that time, and then Francis comes down on her for navigating court with feeling and heart rather than intellect and leaves her.

At night, one of the servants come into Catherine's chambers and tells her that she saw one of the royal guards carrying the stag's head. She didn't see the face of the guard, but did notice that he was covered in blood which meant that the guard had to change. Catherine immediately rushes out of her room in search of her personal guard, Robert, who told her that he had to change his uniform earlier that day and took advantage of that time to leave the castle. Back in the woods, Bash prepares for the execution of the thief and allows the thief to tie the rope around his feet and the thief pleads for his life and also mentions that he has a young child he has to take care of. Luckily, a few moments later one of the pagans approach him and they fight and Bash wins and he stabs the pagan in the stomach. While riding back to the castle the thief says that he's grateful that Bash hadn't planned on killing him. He says that everyone chooses their own path or else the king will, saying the fact that he lives in a town primarily Protestant but that he practices Catholicism.  Bash gets the thief to admit to knowing who he and his mother are before pushing him off the cliff besides them.

Finally Robert and the servant Sarah are put in jail and scheduled to be burned at the stake alive, Bash returns from the woods and Francis tells his brother that if he would have died out there, he would have deserved it. Francis informs both Mary and Bash that the three of them are rulers and they need to start acting with the clear heads. He gives Mary permission to spend time with others, except Bash, and says that he has to do this in order to be in control of the situation between them. After their talk, Francis goes to Olivia and hooks up with her, while Mary and her ladies stand by the window watching the execution of Robert and Sarah.
